Madame and Augustin Melville at the

A large house greeted mother and son
at the Academy last night in the thrilling
sensational drama in four acts written
by Madame Melville, "The Boy Tramp,
or The Maniac Mother" The play was
received with demonstrations OF approval
both in the melodramatic and comic stu
atoms. The leading characters were well
supported by Messrs. Randall, Scott,
Murray, Bonsall and others, and by
Misses Nagle, Gladys, and Hornby. The.
scenery and music, as usual, was good,
and the performance was most satisfac-
tory one. The play will be repeated at
each performance to-day and tomorrow.

out delay. was censured very severely
for permitting him to 60 South. but, as
the fixed policy Of Mr.. Lincoln's Adj
ministration had been to let all those
60 who desired to, I followed the same
course as to Gen. Johnston.
81 have often thought said the
veteran, ..of Fitz John Porter in con-
nection with these early operations. I
knew him well and frequently intrusted
him with confidential missions There
were quite number of young Southern
officers on duty at Carlisle Barracks
about the beginning of the War, and,
being anxious to keep them in the army,
| sent Fitz John Porter up there for
that purpose. Gen. George n. Thomas
was one of the number; Fitz Hugh Lee
another. Porter went to Carlisle, but
only Thomas could be induced to re-
main with the Union cause. Every
other officer from the South except
him who was then on duty at Carlisle
Barracks joined the Confederate army.
From Portsr's action in this case, as in
other confidential matters with which 1
intrusted him at that time. Icould never
believe in his disloyalty. Naturally I
do not mean to say that Porter's visit
to Carlisle was the only thing that kept
George II. Thomas in the Union army.
A man of his strong character and I'M
usual intellect would probably have
remained had no effort been made to
keep him. He was a great soldier one
of the greatest that our War produced !,

illustration of the colossal liars'' of
the West, Gen. McCook relates the fol-
lowing: He was travelling among the
Rocky Mountains, and, straying out
one morning from the trail, stood for a
moment entranced by the magnificent
landscape spread before him, when he
was aroused from his meditations by
the footsteps of one of the guides who
had followed him, lest he should lose
his way.

claimed the General, anxious to share
his delight.

the guide, .'but I kin show you bigger
sights nor this. Why, one time Kansas
jim and me had been trampin' three
days and nights, and we came to a
plain, and right in the midst of it was
a forest all turned to solid STUMP
The General smiled and remarked:

The guide expectorated without
changing conntenance,. and. continued:
..Bnt that waFn't all. General. Thar
war a buffalo on that plain, and he war

The General turned an azaused
countenance on the narrator, and said:
sWhy, Bill, the sod would have fallen
to the ground by the force of gravity"
Without any hesitation Bill answered
"Weli. by gosh, General, the gravity

Her Mud Not on the Game,

Out in the West End there is a whist
club composed of middle-aged ladies
and gentlemen who meet once week.
An incident occurred last week which
broke off amicable relations between
two families. A gentleman who shall
be called Mr.. Brooks had for partner
a neighbor lady who played whist
fairly. Games were even and the score
was six and six on the seventh game.
It was during the last hand that the
unpleasantness occurred. MI. Brooks
and his partner had five tricks and
their opponents six. Eleven trumps had
been played and two cards remained.
1t was Mr.. Brooks partners lead.
She fumbled nervously several
seconds, undecided which card to play.
Evidently she held the commanding
trump and was considering whether if
she led the trump she would find the
thirteenth in her partners hand, and
whether it were not better to lead the
odd suit card, allowing her partners
trump, if he held it, to fall, thus secur-
ing the game.
Under these circumstances, if they
existed, a good player might be for
given for slight delay, but after fumbling
several seconds longer the lady laid both
cards face down on the table and in
quired Of the lady on her right: "Mag-
gle, where did you get those eggs that
you put under the speckled hemp" Mr..

The Cobra.

A very different idea from that com
monty entertained concerning the cobra
is conveyed by Mr.. Edwin Arnold, the
poet, in his narrative of his recent visit
to India. s.The fact is, he says, ..that
snakes are not understood, and espec-
tally cobras. They are extremely in
telligent, slow to anger, conscious of
their terrible venom, and loathe to en-
ploy it. The striking teeth in the cobra
are always half erect, and not more
than quarter Of an inch long; they
are grooyed, and it is the gum which
presses the poison into them, not the
special gland; which, however, exists Of
course, but which these serpents are
very backward in discharging. They
are easily tanned, are anxious to escape
notice, but extraordinarily sensible to
kindness, and when not.frightened, are
among the most gentle and attached of
creatures. Mr.. Arnold himself tells us,
however, that between 1875 and 1880
one hundred and three thousand persons
died from snake-bite in British India.

There is no death The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There Is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
10 golden grain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fail,
The flowers MI, fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
" alks DER the earth with silent tread;
he bears our bestowed things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
lie plucks our ia rest, sweetest flowers;
Transported into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous netes
Make glad these scenes Of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree Of life.
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or heart to pure for faint and vice,
He bears i. to tina. world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that dying life,
They leave us but to come again:

Except in sin and pain.
